World Languages

Learning a modern language is a valuable life skill and genuinely opens doors in the work place and in life in general. We believe that all students should study a modern foreign language and be able to use the skills taught across the whole curriculum.

The GCSE course in Modern Languages offers a demanding yet fulfilling learning experience. Students at Thorns will study a GCSE course which is examined and marked externally in four skills (Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing) at the end of the course. Each skill is worth 25% of the final grade.
